Writing with a Brush, Asking of Your Heart

The heroine, Su Lingyi, is the daughter of a disgraced official, sentenced to serve in the palace as a court historian. She accidentally discovers that everything she writes down always comes true, and mistakenly believes she has a golden finger that makes history come true. So she secretly uses her “brush” to investigate her father’s wrongful conviction, protect her life, and stir up trouble in the imperial harem. In reality, there is no golden finger at all. The male lead, Emperor Xiao Jingyan, has seen her records in advance and is deliberately playing along. The reason: the emperor needs her to remain in her post as court historian so she can draw out the remnants of the old faction responsible for “killing with history” all those years ago. At the same time, he is secretly protecting her. This novel and its characters are entirely fictional. Any resemblance to real people or events is purely coincidental. Do not imitate.
